When I boarded Mike’s private jet in the afternoon, I had no clue where we were going, but I was packed for an overnight stay. I was pleasantly surprised to see Jessica was already on board and that we shared a nest of four luxurious leather padded seats, two pairs facing each other.
Through the window, I watched luggage being loaded into the cargo hold, with more, very expensive trunks and suitcases brought on board, wheeled past me, and taken into a storage room. A woman I knew to be a hair stylist, another wearing a spa-style uniform, carrying two vanity cases, and Claire boarded the aircraft, smiling at me before heading for the staff area at the rear of the plane.
While Mike spoke with the pilot, I leaned forward to Jessica, glancing sideways so I wouldn’t be overheard.
